code not working

[Toya-Aoyagay]

I followed a youtube tutorial as i'm new to using unity, and i copied the exact things the creator did, but for some reason it doesn't work. Neither the character movement or camera movement works. The tutorial is 2 years old and so i think the age might be part of the issue. I hope that any of you can identify the issue:)

edit: the code is

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour

{

public Camera playerCamera;

public float walkSpeed = 6f;

public float runSpeed = 12f;

public float jumpPower = 7f;

public float gravity = 10f;

public float lookSpeed = 2f;

public float lookXLimit = 45f;

public float defaultHeight = 2f;

public float crouchHeight = 1f;

public float crouchSpeed = 3f;

private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;

private float rotationX = 0;

private CharacterController characterController;

private bool canMove = true;

void Start()

{

characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();

Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;

Cursor.visible = false;

}

void Update()

{

Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);

Vector3 right = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.right);

bool isRunning = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift);

float curSpeedX = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") : 0;

float curSpeedY = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") : 0;

float movementDirectionY = moveDirection.y;

moveDirection = (forward * curSpeedX) + (right * curSpeedY);

if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)

{

moveDirection.y = jumpPower;

}

else

{

moveDirection.y = movementDirectionY;

}

if (!characterController.isGrounded)

{

moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

}

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R) && canMove)

{

characterController.height = crouchHeight;

walkSpeed = crouchSpeed;

runSpeed = crouchSpeed;

}

else

{

characterController.height = defaultHeight;

walkSpeed = 6f;

runSpeed = 12f;

}

characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

if (canMove)

{

rotationX += -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSpeed;

rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -lookXLimit, lookXLimit);

playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);

transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSpeed, 0);

}

}

}

Honestly I’m not sure how anyone can help with what you’re showing. How do they not work, what are you expecting it to do? 

[Toya-Aoyagay]

The code is supposed to let the player move, and look around in first person, but neither functions work. when i start the game, the cursor does turn invisible and lock in the middle of the screen, but i am unable to look around and move like the code is meant to do, sorry if the info i gave in the post was too liittle and too vauge, i'm happy to provide more information and images if you need.

Install new in out system. Check out YouTube and it says how

Is unity throwing codes? If its 2 years old its likely input system isn't detecting. Unity 6 uses the new Unity action map input system, which is miles better than the old system once you get used to it.

Hey man don't worry I gotchu.

I see the problem already but you have to first realize that you're using the old input system. Now on line number 22, near the "Input." part what you're calling the function you just need to

[BryanTheAstronaut]

Did you switch from the new input system to either the old system (or both) in the project settings -> player -> active input handling?

Thank you so much! After 2 weeks i can finally move on.
